Hi all,
at the risk of becoming a true doom and gloom merchant I’m just giving you the heads up that I’ll be shortly following up my recent article on Personal Accounts – (the new Government proposed auto-enrolled Pensions currently under some increasingly heated discussions inside and outside of Parliament), in a new article where I’ll be adding grist to the mill in the ongoing conversation over means testing (can anyone say “is that mean?” with me?) and how it works within the context of these new pensions – and how some experts think it could even have the potential to totally derail them altogether.
Watch this space, because for those with broken work histories, or low income this stuff could have profound implications as to whether their retirement is spent in relative adequacy or desperate financial ruin. It’s shaping up to be that serious for a large chunk of late baby boomer Brits. Until then take care, and after my next article I promise to be a bit more cheery – after all spring is on the way!
